The idiotic American ideal of elected judges puts them right into the same category of politicians where they need to maintain the support of special interests to retain their positions. Your entire system is broken from the ground up.

2) "Redefin[ing]" the meaning and interpretation of Amendments has been going on ever since the Amendments were passed and adopted. That's part of the political process and speaks to the "living nature" of the Constitution as a whole.

No kidding. That was my point. Changing the meaning of the second amendment back to its previously viewed argument that unfettered access to guns is not an absolute right does not require any constitutional process or change.

3) Further to point #2, where is your outrage for the "millions" of dollars that have been spent by police unions and surveillance companies to "redefine" the "commonly held interpretation" of the Fourth Amendment?

While that is no less offensive, it is also irrelevant to this topic, which is America's shameful belief that young children and people throwing a Christmas party are acceptable casualties in the fight for unfettered access to guns. Your argument here is an attempt at classic misdirection, and only underscores how weak your position is.
